Jon Favreau's highly anticipated directorial venture The Lion King has turned out to be the fourth blockbuster of the year in India. The live-action animated film is enjoying a golden run at the Indian box office and refuses to slow down anytime soon despite new Bollywood films coming every other week. The Lion King has been in theatres for two weeks now and it has already raked in Rs 127.32 crore at the domestic box office. What's interesting is that the Hollywood biggie has two more weeks to mint big moolah before facing competition from Mission Mangal and Batla House. The Lion King Box Office Collection Day 10: Jon Favreau's Directorial Venture Is Unstoppable in India, Earns Rs 114.27 Crore

Over the weekend, The Lion King will easily surpass the collections of Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30 which has collected a little over Rs 131 crore to date. And by next week, the remake of Disney's 1994 classic will leave behind films like Gully Boy and probably Total Dhamaal and Kesari too.
